Alabama Seafood Cook-Off May 18 at Wharf
The 11th Annual Alabama Seafood Cook-Off will be held on May 18 at The Wharf in Orange Beach. Hosted by Sweet Grown Alabama, the competition will feature four chefs competing for the title and a chance to represent Alabama at the Great American Seafood Cook-Off in New Orleans.
Chefs across the state are encouraged to submit their best seafood recipe for consideration. A panel of judges will evaluate submissions and select four finalists based on creativity, ingredient harmony, and overall dish composition. The chosen chefs will then compete live, preparing their dishes in front of a panel of industry experts and the public at The Wharf.
Chefs must include both Alabama Gulf seafood and a locally grown ingredient in their dish, and the winner will earn a $2,500 cash prize and recognition as Alabama’s top seafood chef.

“This competition is a great opportunity to not only highlight Alabama seafood but also the incredible ingredients grown across our state,” said Chris Blankenship, Al. Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources Commissioner.
